David starts at the point $A$ and goes up and right along the grid lines to point $B$. At each of the points $C$, $D$, and $E$ there is a bully. Find the number of paths David can take which make him encounter exactly one bully.

Let $\omega$ be a circle with positive integer radius $r$. Suppose that it is possible to draw isosceles triangle with integer side lengths inscribed in $\omega$. Compute the number of possible values of $r$ where $1 \le r \le 2023^2$. Submit your answer as a positive integer $E$. If the correct answer is $A$, your score for this question will be $\max \left( 0, 25\left(3 - 2 \max \left( \frac{A}{E} , \frac{E}{A}\right)\right)\right)$, rounded to the nearest integer.

One hundred points labeled $1$ to $100$ are arranged in a $10\times 10$ grid such that adjacent points are one unit apart. The labels are increasing left to right, top to bottom (so the first row has labels $1$ to $10,$ the second row has labels $11$ to $20,$ and so on). Convex polygon $\mathcal{P}$ has the property that every point with a label divisible by $7$ is either on the boundary or in the interior of $\mathcal{P}.$ Compute the smallest possible area of $\mathcal{P}.$
